ANNUAL SNOWPLOW TIRADE
It snowed a little bit
Traffic is horendous
Triple commute times
And, according to the news, the average speed in the metro right now is seven miles per hour
All for less than 2 inches of snow
Which *WE KNEW* was coming
I'm so moving back to Chicago where the politicians Plow The Streets (or else!)
Michael Bilandic was the mayor of Chicago in 1978-79 who famously failed to clear the snow from the Windy City's streets in the bitter winter of 1978-79. He lost his job the next November to Jane Byrne, who ran on a snow-plow ticket promising to clear the streets the next time it snowed.
